Chapter 426 Shoes



The wind and snow outside are getting stronger.

Qiao Xuejun said goodbye to the two of them: "I'm going out first, please take care of yourselves."

The patrolman said, "Okay, Mr. Qiao, take care."

Qiao Xuejun went to open the door, and the patrolman reminded her, "The weather forecast warned of a heavy snowstorm today. Teacher Qiao, if you have nothing else to do, please return to the base. It must be cold outside."

"Don't let anything happen. Our base can't do without you."

Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "Don't worry! I know."

The cold wind blew through the woods in the mountains, making the trees creak and shake.

Qiao Xuejun braved the wind and snow and did not return to the base. She went directly to the shelter. She had to continue breeding the pheasants today and take care of the cotton.

When the wind and snow get strong, the temperature drops suddenly.

Halfway through the walk, Qiao Xuejun felt so cold that she could no longer feel her toes. She couldn't help but wonder, "System, is the big temperature drop really going to happen in three days, not now?"

System: "Not now. It will be three days later."

Qiao Xuejun returned to the shelter, took out a thermometer and measured the temperature outside. It was minus 52 degrees Celsius.

Qiao Xuejun blinked, feeling as if the ice on her eyelashes was about to freeze them off. The world was white.

After entering the shelter, her body temperature rose after a while, but her feet were still freezing. She stamped her feet and went straight into the breeding and planting areas to start working.

After finishing the work, it was 8 o'clock. There was not much work to do today.

Qiao Xuejun thought about it, then went back from the shelter to the base.

You can get up early tomorrow and go to the greenhouse nearby.

When she arrived at the base, Zhao Xian hadn't returned yet. She stood at the base gate and looked outside.

The door was closed and I couldn't see anything, but I could still faintly hear the sound of wind and snow outside.

Inside the door was Wu Haifan, who was on duty. He knew that Qiao Xuejun was worried, so he consoled her, "Teacher Qiao, our captain is very capable, he'll be fine."

Qiao Xuejun pursed her lips and smiled: "Yeah, I know."

Zhao Xian always has his own abilities, but she still wonders how he and the patrol soldiers will keep warm and march outside in such cold weather.

In theory, you should not engage in outdoor activities for more than half an hour in temperatures of -50℃. Otherwise, there is a great risk and you may freeze to death in minutes.

Qiao Xuejun went back to her room to check her shoes and found that there was a crack in them.

It looks like it was newly sharpened, no wonder I didn't feel warm on the way to the shelter today.

She found a pair of Zhao Xian's extra shoes in the room and put them on. She took her own broken shoes and planned to go to the second floor to find the shoemaker.

Halfway through the journey, they met Tang Qinghao and Yuan Zhiyi. They were arguing about something, but when they saw Qiao Xuejun, they stopped and greeted her.

Tang Qinghao asked first: "Teacher Qiao, where are you going? You...you..."

He was halfway through greeting her when he noticed something was wrong. His eyes focused on Qiao Xuejun's feet: "Teacher Qiao, your shoes are too big!"

He said, "Why don't you go find someone to exchange a pair for you."

There are no new shoes to wear at this time. Most people cannot wear shoes that fit them. After all, most of them are picked up when collecting resources, so they wear whatever they pick up.

But everyone will exchange shoes that don't fit well with someone who fits them well, and they can wear them by exchanging them with others.

But Qiao Xuejun's shoes looked obviously inappropriate on her feet, and they even felt a bit draggy and falling off the heels.

He said, "Look, they're bigger than my shoes. How are you going to walk in shoes this big? You're going to walk! Don't fall."

Qiao Xuejun: "No, I'll just wear it for now."

Tang Qinghao approached Qiao Xuejun very unreservedly and compared the size of his shoes with those on Qiao Xuejun's feet: "Why don't you exchange them with me? Although mine is a bit big, it's definitely better than yours."

Yuan Zhiyi couldn't stand it any longer and patted the back of Tang Qinghao's head as he lowered his head to look at his shoes. "Are you some idiot? Teacher Qiao, you can tell they're the Lord's shoes. What's your status? You want to exchange shoes with the Lord?"

Tang Qinghao finally realized what was happening, but he glared at Yuan Zhiyi: "You're the only one who thinks you're smart. What's wrong with the lord's shoes? They're inlaid with gold. With such a large size, it must be uncomfortable for Teacher Qiao to wear them. If you have the guts, why don't you borrow his shoes and wear them with Teacher Qiao?"

Yuan Zhiyi rolled his eyes: "I'm too lazy to talk to an idiot like you."

Qiao Xuejun lifted the bag in her hand and interrupted their argument: "My shoes have a hole in them, so I went to the shoemaker to fix it."

Yuan Zhiyi: "The shoemaker's business is booming. Even if he takes in an apprentice, he still has endless shoes to mend. I'm afraid you'll have to wait in line."

Qiao Xuejun said goodbye to the two of them and went downstairs directly.

The second floor was originally the trading area, but now it was deserted. She went down one floor to the third floor, the dormitory area.

This is obviously the center of the entire cave, and the temperature is much higher than on the first or second floor.

With the help of the duty team, she found the dormitory of the shoemaker's family directly.

She knocked on the door and went in.

The shoemaker's house was very warm; they had a blue oil stove.

Qiao Xuejun used a little bit of blue oil to exchange with the shoemaker grandfather in exchange for him to repair her shoes.

"Can it be repaired?" Qiao Xuejun was very concerned. She still had shoes to wear in the shelter, but this pair was the best one among them, so she still hoped that it could be repaired.

The shoemaker examined it for a while and nodded gently: "It can be repaired."

Qiao Xuejun: "Okay, do we need to queue?"

The old man said, "Our order is scheduled for three days from now. But Mr. Qiao, I can work overtime today to make up for it for you. You can just come and pick it up tomorrow."
